Breaking Dawn

I finished it in under 12 hours which was a huge achievement considering how sick Emma has been. All I will say, until everyone else has read it, is... I can't believe she came up with that story, with all it's twists, and had it published in a year! Pretty amazing stuff! I officially really enjoyed it and am very sad that it is over. But, this is only my first read through, so I guess it isn't really over, yet. Hurry up and finish it someone so we can discuss it!!

Spoilers maybe, so be warned:

So I liked the book, but only parts of it. I thought the way the book was put together was kind of weird too, with the seperate books and Bella's having a table of contents, etc. It was different. I will say I started out not even liking it (way too much information about her honeymoon for me), but once she seperated the 'sex obsessed bella' with jacob's chapters, I really loved it. I wasn't the hugest fan of Jacob before, but seeing things from his point of view was fun I thought. And I loved reading about Bella and Renesmee and the Volutri (sp), etc. Edge of your seat drama. I loved the ending too. Very good way to end the series. Bella was pretty cool once "things happened", I thought. That was fun to read about. I still liked how much respect everyone had for Carlisle too. I still kinda lost respect for Meyers with how she kept bringing up sex over and over again through out the book (believe me, its great - but you don't have to bring it up a million times for your young readers to read about), but the characters were really cool (Eleazer for example), the plot well thought out, and it makes me wonder what other book she got the inspiration from other than A Midsummer's night dream.

i liked it. cortney and i agreed that we were "content" with how the book ended but that she left it open for others to have their stories told. i think i finished in 8 hrs or so, my poor kids didn't get too much mom attention, but we all survived at least my second time through with be a little slower, like maybe over the course of 2-3 days-lol
